Description

ADHD rarely travels alone—comorbidities are common. ADHD also travels far—it occurs among every subpopulation. And yet, ADHD is often under-recognized, under-diagnosed, and under-treated when a client doesn’t fit the stereotypical mould or when cultural factors make diagnosis and treatment more complicated.

In this session, view this panel of experts for a lively discussion of the future of ADHD diagnosis and treatment. We’ll discuss how:

  • To treat ADHD in the presence of significant anxiety or substance abuse—or even identify it
  • You go beyond the child with ADHD to help the entire family manage it more effectively
  • You go beyond the adult with ADHD to help the couple function better
  • Mindfulness is often touted as a recommendation - what can we really expect from it
